you've got some kind of virus, even if you use chrome, who knows if the pop ups wont just transfer to that browser

try and look at the name of any extentions you have installed (which you dont recognise), or look at the names of the pop up adds, and paste those names into google.

there should be a list of solutions that come up.

but bring up the task manager in the mean time and end any programmes with dodgy names. but be careful you dont delete system 32 and destroy your computer*

Thing is I don't have any other extension except the ad blocker one. I have no idea what to do. How do I find the task manager, where is it located? Sorry am unable to think at the mo. So many weird pop ups show up, so I should google each of them to find a solution? That will take me years I think lol.

Don't google each of them, just the ones that commonly pop up.

All of these adware programmes seem to have the same solution for removing them.

Next time you install software be careful that you don't authorize the installation of additional software in the installer. What I mean is, don't mindlessly click next when installing programmes, they may ask your permission to install adware, so be careful that you don't give your consent.

It became so annoying, so I had to call apple support, and they told me to use this website called adwaremedic.com... And now the macbook feels much better!! So i just want to tell you (and the rest), that this link simply works (http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php)
